$Bi_{0.5}(Na_{0.78}K_{0.22})_{0.5}TiO_3$ (BNKT) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics modified by $LaMnO_3$ (LM) were fabricated by conventional solid-state method. The crystal structure and the morphology of the lead free ceramics were analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy). The LM modified BNKT ceramics have a phase transition from ferroelectric tetragonal to non-polar pseudo-cubic. Despite decreases in the remnant polarization ($P_r$) and coercive field ($E_c$) in the P-E hysteresis loops, the electric-field induced strain properties were significantly enhanced by the LM modification. The highest value of $S_{max}/E_{max}=412pm/V$ at an applied electric field of 5 kV/mm was found in BNKT-0.01LM ceramic.

PMN계에서 유전적 성질에 관한 연구들은 광범위하게 이루어져 왔으나 전계인가 변위특성에 관한 폭넓은 연구는 매우 드물다. 본 연구에서는 완화형 강유전체의 가장 대표적인 PMN계에서 PT의 함량 및 측정 온도의 변화에 따른 유전적 성질 및 전계인가 변위특성을 광범위하게 조사하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 전형적인 columbite precur-sor법에 의해 분말을 준비하고 고상소결방법에 의하여 모든 시편을 제조하였다. PT의 함량이 증가하면서 직선적으로 (T$\varepsilon$max)가 증가하였으며 유전율은 13000~22000 사이의 값을 보였다. 유전율의 온도 의존성은 PMN의 경우 전형적인 완화형 강유전체의 유전 특성을 보이지만 PT의 함량이 증가될수록 보통 강유전체의 sharp한 거동을 보였다. 전계인가 변위특성에서는 단순히 유전율이 최대가 되는 온도에서 발생 strain이 최대가 되는 것은 아니며 tetragonal-cubic의 phase transition에서는 strain의 증가가 없고 rhombohedral에서 tetragonal 혹은 rhombohed-ral에서 cubic으로의 상전이에서만 strain이 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

Electrically-induced strain(S) and polarization(P) for Pb(Sc1/2Nb1/2)O3-PbTiO3(1-x)PSN-xPT) crystalline solutions were studied. From the compositional dependence of S and P we could observe two maximum values at x=0.10 and x=0.425. It is considered that PSNT10(x=0.10) composition is the structural phase boundary to indicate the variable order-disorder[VOD] region. PSNT(x=0.425) composition is the morphotropic phase boundary[MPB] to indicate the rhombohedral to tetragonal phase transition. Higher S (0.437%) and P (0.3974$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$) values were attained by the La substitution (5 wt%) at Pb site in the MPB composition of 57.5PSN-42.5PT.

Dielectric property of Ba-modified 0.65Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.35PbTiO3 ceramics having compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary was investigated. For the specimens having Ba contents between 0 and 20 at%, the average transition temperature was decreased linearly with increasing Ba contents and the degree of hysteresis was also decreased with increasing Ba contents. The maximum dielectric constants (K), electric field induced polarization(P) and electrically-induced strain(S) were found to exihibit a maximum value at∼3 at% of Ba. The increase of S and the decrease of hysteresis by minor additions of Ba impurities indicated the development of new higher perfomance actuator materials. The composition of Ba-PMN-PT (10/65/35) may be appropriate for capacitor materials because of low hysteresis and high polarization.

PLZT(x/70/30)의 x=7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 10.5 조성에 대하여 전계인가와 동시에 X-선 회절측정을 전계 20kV/cm에 이르기까지 수행하였다. 모든 PLZT는 입방상에 속하였다. x=7.5, 8.0, 8.5에서 PLZT는 4~8kV/cm의 낮은 전계에 이르기까지 반강유전적인 특성을 보였으며 보다 높은 전계에서는 강유전적인 특성을 나타내었다. 온도에 따른 유전상수의 측정에 따르면 x=7.5, 8.0, 8.5 조성에서 PLZT는 완화형 강유전체와 유사하였으며 50-7$0^{\circ}C$에서 확산적인 반강유전-상유전 상전이가 나타났다. 자발분극-전계(P-E) 이력곡선은 이들이 반강유전적인 특성을 가지고 있음을 보여주었다. 매우 넓은 큐리점의 분포는 이들 PLZT의 결정구조에서 La 치환에 의한 양이온 및 빈자리의 무질서도가 상당함을 시사한다. PLZT (10.5/70/30)의 전계에 따른 변형은 매우 미미하였으며 이력현상이 없는 상유전적인 특성을 보였다. 전계인가에 따른 변형률은 La 치환량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. PLZT(7.5/70/30)에서 110회절선의 강도는 전계인가에 민감하게 변화하여, [110] 방향에 평행한 자발분극을 가지는 분역이 전계인가로 유도된 PLZT의 강유전상에서 발달된 것처럼 여겨진다.

In this paper, we report a novel way to evaluate the anticlinic interlayer coupling coefficient U between smectic layers of an antiferroelectric liquid crystal, by utilizing a small field-induced perturbation of the molecular orientation. U was found to exhibit an unusual "S-shaped" dependence on temperature, with values ranging between $0.4{\times}10^4$ and $0.4{\times}10^{-1}$ erg $cm^{-3}$ over a 10$^{\circ}C$ temperature range below smectic A-smectic $C_A$ phase transition temperature. The results are good agreement with estimates for U based upon the threshold field for the onset of solitary waves, and provide strong supporting the low-field regime for the single Fourier component model.

We present a model that rotating primordial blackholes(PBHs) produced at the end of inflation generate the random, non-oriented primordial magnetic field. PBHs are copiously produced as the Universe completes the cosmic phase transition via bubble nucleation and tunneling processes in the extended inflation hypothesis. The PBHs produced acquire angular momentum through the mutual tidal gravitational interaction. For PBHs of mass less than 1013g, one can show that the evaporation (photon) luminosity of PBHs exceeds the Eddington limit. Thus throughout the lifetime of the rotating PBH, radiation flow from the central blackhole along the Kerr-geodesic exerts torque to ambient plasma. In the process similar to the Bierman's battery mechanism electron current reaching up to the horizon scale is induced. For PBHs of Grand Unified Theories extended inflation with the symmetry breaking temperature of $T_{GUT}\;\~\;10^{10}$ GeV, which evaporate near decoupling, we find that they generate random, non-oriented magnetic fields of $\~10^{-11}G$ on the last-scattering surface on (the present comoving) scales of $\~O(10)Mpc$.

The structure and dielectric properties of poled <001>-oriented 0.7Pb($Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.3PbTiO_3$ (PMN-0.3PT) crystals have been investigated for orientations both parallel and perpendicular to the [001] poling direction. An electric field induced monoclinic phase was observed for the initial poled sample. The phase remained stable after the field was removed. A quite different temperature dependence of dielectric constant has been observed between heating and cooling due to an irreversible phase transformation. The results of mesh scans and temperature dependence of the dielectric constant demonstrate that the initial monoclinic phase changes to a single domain tetragonal phase at 370K and to a paraelectric cubic phase at 405K upon heating. However, upon subsequent cooling from the unpoled state, the cubic phase changes to a poly domain tetragonal phase and to a rhombohedral phase. In the ferroelectric tetragonal phase with a single domain state, the dielectric constant measured perpendicular to the poling direction was dramatically higher than that of the parallel direction. A large dielectric constant implies easier polarization rotation away from the polar axis. This enhancement is believed to be related to dielectric softening close to the morphotropic phase boundary and at the phase transition temperature.

디지털형 압전/전왜 액츄에이터 응용을 위하여 상경계(반강유전상/강유전상) 조성인 $Pb_{0.94}Y_{0.04}[(Zr_0.6Sn_0.4)_{0.915}Ti_0.085]O_3$ (PYZST) 계를 택하여 과잉 PbO의 첨가량 및 소결 조건 변화에 따른 상전이 특성, 유전 특성 및 전기장 유기변형 특성을 연구하였다. 사방정 구조를 갖는 PYZST 세라믹스에서 과잉 PbO 첨가에 따른 결정구조의 변화는 거의 확인되지 않았으나, 소결 후 입자가 약간 작아지며 둥근 형태로 변화하였고 첨가량 증가에 따라 적정 소결온도는 감소하였다. 과잉 PbO의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라, 분극측정시 반강유전상이 보다 안정되는 경향을 보였고, 전계유도변형 측정시 인가전기장 제거상태에서의 변형의 형상기억성이 감소하고 디지털형 변형곡선 특성이 강화되었다. 또한 최대 유전상수와 전계 유기변형량은 감소하였으나 반면 상전이(반강유전상$\leftrightarrow$강유전상) 전기장 및 비저항은 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 과잉으로 첨가된 PbO에 의한 격자 결함반응 및 분역벽 이동 거동 가능성과 연관시켜 설명하였다.

(Bi_1/2Na_1/2)TiO₃(BNT) piezoelectric ceramics are one of the promising materials that can replace Pb(Zr, Ti)O₃(PZT) piezoelectric ceramics due to the high electromechanical strain properties. However, it is still difficult to use practical applications because the required electric field for inducing electromechanical strain is relatively higher than that of PZT ceramics. To overcome this problem, it has been intensively studied on doping impurity or modifying other ABO₃ for BNT-based piezoelectric ceramics. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of La₂O₃ doping on the phase transition behavior and electromechanical strain properties in BNT-SrTiO₃ (BNT-ST) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. In the case of the temperature-dependent dielectric properties, it was confirmed that a phase transition from ferroelectrics to relaxors is induced with increasing La₂O₃ content. As a result, the electromechanical strain properties of BNT-ST ceramics were improved. The highest S_max/E_max value corresponding to 300 pm/V was obtained at 2 mol% La₂O₃-dopped BNT-ST ceramics. Accordingly, this study successfully demonstrated that La₂O₃ doping is effective on the inducing phase transition from ferroelectrics to relaxors and the improving electromechanical strain properties of BNT-ST lead-free piezoelectric ceramics.
